Intel EXPI9014PTBLK PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Bypass Server Adapter PCIE Copper Server 4-Port

Intel EXPI9014PTBLK Pro 1000PT 10/100/1000 Gbe PCIE Copper Server 4-Port Quad Card, No Disk Single.

The Intel PRO/1000 PT and PF Quad Port Bypass Server Adapters provide in-line server appliances, such as Intrusion Protection Servers (IPSes), with high-performance, low-latency, in-line connectivity, and a bypass mode to ensure business continuity. These adapters also use the PCI Express serial bus for greater throughput, and they support Intel I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel I/OAT) for further performance enhancement, including the reduced overhead so important to IPS applications. The Intel PRO/1000 PT and PF Quad Port Bypass Server Adapters are intended for use by equipment manufacturer hardware designers in application-specific in-line server appliances, where a bypass mode is desirable.
